Buffalo Chicken Dip

This recipe is a family favorite - and perfect for football season! I'm sure my mom got it from somewhere. Your guess is as good as mine!

SERVES 20 (about 144 calories, 9 g fat, 0 g fiber - doesn't include chips and celery)

• 2 (10 ounce) cans chicken (You can also use leftover cooked chicken)
• 2 (8 ounce) packets light cream cheese
• 3/4 cup hot sauce (I've used regular hot sauce and the buffalo wing hot sauce)
• 1 cup light ranch dressing (I've used light blue cheese dressing before - that's good too)
• 2 cups reduced fat cheddar cheese
• Baked tostitos and celery sticks

Drain canned chicken and combine with hot sauce in saucepan. Cook on medium until heated. Add cream cheese and stir until blended thoroughly. Add ranch dressing and mix. Add most of the cheddar cheese and heat for a few minutes until mixed and melted. Put dip into a small slow cooker and sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese on top. Keep on low heat. Serve with baked tostitos and celery sticks.

I have also simply combined all ingredients in a bowl (except chips and celery) and put in the slow cooker to heat.

Review: This is a family favorite, so obviously I love it! It's not pretty, but it smells wonderful, tastes even better and is great to have around for football games. And it goes without saying that this is a boy-friendly recipe!
